DALLAS (PRWEB) October 18, 2021 - Amid unprecedented growth and a schedule thats quickly filling up, Christmas Decor the leading holiday-decorating franchise in the U.S. and Canada that just celebrated its 25th anniversary is urging customers to book their holiday display installations as early as possible.

Christmas Decor President Brandon Stephens said its important that homeowners start their holiday planning and budgeting early so theyre not left out in the cold come Christmas Day.

People will contact us in the middle of November and ask to have their displays installed before Thanksgiving, but were limited by our production capacity, Stephens said. Demand has grown so much, we have to hire enough people to do the installations, and theres a fixed deadline on the calendar of December 25. So its dangerous to wait.

Founded in 1986 by Blake Smith, Christmas Decor provides an opportunity for landscapers and outdoor business owners to offset fixed overhead costs, generate new income streams and maintain key employees year-round.

Stephens said in his 19 years with the company, hes never seen the kind of phenomenal growth Christmas Decor experienced in 2020. As we head into the 2021 holiday season, he said hes expecting just as much interest not only from homeowners, but from commercial customers, as well.

Last season, there was a huge increase in municipalities ordering holiday installations, Stephens said. Communities recognized people were bored, so they made investments in their local quality of life with drive-through lighted parks and festive downtown displays. This year again, early interest from commercial customers has been very strong.

Stephens said he expects Christmas Decor will be fully booked well before Thanksgiving, considering they were fully booked last year by Nov. 10.

Last year, our 24th year, we grew by 18%, he said. It was unprecedented, significant growth. Were seeing a similar pattern right now with more explosive growth and engagement from more people. When time runs out, time runs out.

Stephens said Christmas Decor is in such high demand that last year, there were even a handful of people who requested Christmas light installations after the holiday to keep up through January.

Weve really been pushing our franchises to get started a week to 10 days earlier than last year, and a lot of them are already busy installing lights, he said. You can either add days to the season or add people, and its simply easier to add days than to hire more people in our current labor climate.

Christmas Decor rewards customers who commit early with incentives like discounts and specialty products, such as more varied light colors. But Stephens said the longer customers wait, the thinner their options will get.

Lets say you wanted to have purple C9 [blubs] or a toy soldier on your front porch. We have those now, but in mid-November, you might not be able to get that option, he said. When you get to the unique items, you start running out of options the further you get into the year. So if we can get you booked in October, we're willing to give you an incentive to do that.

The 300-plus unit strong Texas-based holiday decorating franchise, is continuing to grow its footprint across the country, with 11 new signings so far this year and another 30 in the pipeline, fueled by consumer demand looking for seasonal cheer far before the start of the 2021 holiday season.
